I know some of you retards may not understand this, but Fontenot is more important to our season long success and has more of a future in baseball than George.

You can quibble with whether he should have been used at all yesterday, but not pitching him today was the right move.

I just find it hilarious to use the argument that PM was trying to see what George could do. The kid is a senior. You could use that argument if PM had let Floyd battle out of it but he let George walk in the go ahead run before anyone was warming.

Any argument for putting George in that doesn’t mention panic and getting hot in a hurry is null and void.

He flat out shouldn’t have gone in. He’s 50/50 on being able to find the plate and he’s never been good with inherited runners. Even yesterday.

ETA: but none of that means that Fontenot should have thrown today.

He knows what George can do and what Fontenot can do.
No way was Fontenot pitching today. No way was he taking a chance on injury. If George is injured it’s no big deal. That’s obvious.
